Why won't the wipers move on a 98 Escort if you can hear the motor running?

The shaft from the motor to the wiper actuating arms is possibly stripped or disconnected. You will need to trace the wipers back to the wiper motor to find the problem. As mentioned follow the linkages back to the motor as they sometimes pop out of their cups.


Your windshield wipers on your 1996 Ford Crown Vic 4.6 L don't wipe when activted but you can hear the motor running What do you all think is wrong And how do you fix them?

Sounds like broken linkage maybe. I think... you need to pull the air vent intake grill underneath your windshield wipers blades to get to it.


How do you reset the windshield wipers for a 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue?

There is no "reset" in the wiper motor. If your wipers do not park, it is likely your wiper motor parking contact or cam is broken. Try running the wipers with the key in the "ON" position, then turn the wipers off using their switch while they are up on the windshield. They should park themselves at the bottom. The good news is a wiper motor is pretty cheap at a junkyard, and not too hard to replace.


Your 1996 Elantra wipers stopped moving but motor still makes sound why and how do you fix them?

Check the linkage connected to the wiper motor and make sure that it is still connected. Look at the unit with the wiper motor running. if the motor shaft is turning and the wipers aren't then your linkage has a broken or missing pin somewhere.


What causes the wipers not to shut off with the switch on a 1996 Chevey Astro Van?

The wiper motor doesn't turn off until the wiper arm gets to the "park" location. If the wiper motor never detects park, the wipers will stay running.
